Following ingestion
Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Skin contamination should be treated promptly by washing with soap and water. Contamination of the eyes should be treated immediately by prolonged flushing of the eyes with large amounts of clean water. If dermal or ocular irritation persists, medical attention should be obtained without delay. Other Herbicides
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty. Carbaryl (agricultural insecticides, nec, liquid); Carbaryl (agricultural insecticides, nec, other than liquid); Carbaryl (insecticides, other than agricultural, nec
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Flash point data for this chemical are not available, however it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Decomposes on heating. This produces chlorides, nitrogen oxides and phosgene.
10.2 Chemical stability
Unlimited shelf life; not light or heat sensitive, but low temperature may cause crystallization of emulsifiable concentrate.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
ISOPROPYL-N-(3-CHLOROPHENYL)CARBAMATE is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials
no data available
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of /hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides and phosgene/.

SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 Micropterus salmoides (Largemouth bass) 10 mg/L/48 hr; static
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
Soil microorganisms readily degrade chlorpropham ... by prodn of 3-chloroaniline by enzymatic hydrolysis reaction with subsequent liberation of free chloride ion & carbon dioxide. ... pseudomonas striata chester, a flavobacterium sp, an agrobacterium sp, & achromobacter sp /degrade it/. ... bioassay tests indicate half life of chlorpropham to be about 65 days @ 15 deg c & 30 days @ 29 deg c. however, rate of dissipation can vary greatly with microbial activity & moisture level of given soil.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 100 was calculated for chlorpropham(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.51(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Koc values for chlorpropham ranging from 245 to 816 have been reported(1-4). According to a classification scheme(5), these Koc values suggest that chlorpropham is expected to have moderate to low mobility in soil. Leaching of chlorpropham from three different types of soil was low(6). More than 90% of recovered chlorpropham was found in the upper inch of the soil profile after 4 cm of rain(6). Very little chlorpropham adsorbs to montmorillonite or kalonite clay(7).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
